30. Wiz Khalifa - Kush & O.J.



"Kush & O.J." is the ultimate wake & bake album. The whole mixtape is centered around smoking weed as you wake up and then probably listening to this very album.

"Still Blazin" is a great reggae fused where Wiz utters the line "You say I look high, that's cos I'm high bro' and that is about the extent of the subject matter. 'The Spotlight' features Killa Kyleon and is one of the most laid back songs ever and is then followed up by the upbeat 'The Kid Frankie' which is inspired by Danny Dyers' character in the film 'The Business' and is rapped over a beat from 1980's RnB group Loose ends.

Ultimately the only thing that lets this album down is the lack of variety in the subject matter. None of the lyrics differ from one song to the next, but the all of the songs are very well produced and I wish that Wiz was more attentive of this when recording his first major label effort 'Rolling Papers'.

Until tomorrow.....
